Westinghouse teams with Nordion and PSEG to produce Co-60 at Salem
Westinghouse Electric Company, Nordion, and PSEG Nuclear announced on Tuesday the signing of long-term agreements to establish the first commercial-scale production of cobalt-60 in a U.S. nuclear reactor. Under the agreements, the companies are to apply newly developed production technology for pressurized water reactors to produce Co-60 at PSEG’s Salem nuclear power plant in New Jersey.

Some technological problems of radioactive fusion materials management are being addressed in the paper. These problems are being studied in the frame of the International Energy Agency (IEA) collaborative study on fusion radioactive waste. These studies address the management procedures for radioactive materials following the changeout of replaceable components and decommissioning of fusion facilities. Key issues include clearance levels, hands-on and remote recycling procedures, fusion permanent waste hazard assessment, and detritiation of activated materials.
